Oh!

So a few months ago I got into Korean pop kind of by accident. Korean pop is kind like a chocolate bar infused with crack: delicious and instantaneously addictive. And if Korean pop is crack-addled chocolate then the girl group SNSD is the Belgian chocolate that costs, like, three hundred dollars a pound.

It's a little pathetic how much I fangirl over them, but SNSD is really unlike any other pop group I know. SNSD is made up of nine girls 19-22 years old and they churn out cute and ridiculously catchy pop songs. Which I know sounds like any other pop group but these girls are different.

SNSD has class. The cutesy trend is dying out in Korean and most groups are going for the mature, sexy music videos and it usually comes out slutty. Like, so slutty that three girl perfomers' videos have been banned from public television. But SNSD have no slutty vidoes. No slutty dancing. No slutty photoshoots. None of them are in rehab or pictured with drugs or alcohol or coming home from some guy's house. They know they are the role models of a bunch of younger girls and they act like it.

Besides, when you see them on reality or variety shows they are so much fun to watch. All nine of these girls are best friends. Real friends. It's not a show, or a facade. They all live three to a room in an apartment, and despite the rigorous schedule, general lack of sleep, and prolonged time away from their families, there is no catty girl drama. You watch them in interviews playing with each others hair, calling each other ridiculous nicknames, making fun of each others habits. These girls love each other and they connect well with an audience so you kind of feel like you're apart of this giant awesome group of friends when you're watching them.

Which makes me miss my giant awesome group of friends. Ack. Seriously, you guys in Texas, I miss all of you all the time. I cannot wait to see you this summer. Maybe you guys can all carpool and head to my house for a party/sleepover. How awesomely epic would that be?

But yeah. If you like jpop I suggest you look into SNSD. They are totally awesome and I seriously think I'm getting a massive girl crush on all of them. Lol. I haven't felt this way since the Spice Girls. But it's nice to know that I can like these girls and not hear about how one had to be dragged in a drunken stupor from some club party, or got busted with a crack pipe. Or flashing their boobs or underwear in a slutty outfit.
